Cabbage soup, anyone?

Well, it's getting to be that time of year that I start looking for soup recipes. I've really been in the mood for some homemade cabbage soup. Does anyone have a good recipe?

Anyone?

Did you say Cabbage soup?? Well, here you go!!! * 6 large onions * 2 green peppers * 2 cans of tomatoes (diced or whole) * 1 bunch celery * 1/2 head cabbage * 1 package dry onion soup mix * 1 or 2 cubes bouillon/ stock cubes either chicken or beef (optional) * Salt, pepper, parsley, garlic powder, curry powder or soy sauce to taste (or any other seasoning you like). Spray a large pot with cooking spray and sauté all vegetables except cabbage and tomatoes until tender. Add cabbage and about 12 cups of water. Toss in bouillon cubes, soup mix, and seasoning. Cook until soup reaches desired tenderness. Add tomatoes. To keep the recipe interesting you can make a base soup and then add seasoning/ herbs each day for different flavours. Note: There are a number of variations to this recipe. Diet- Beverages are limited to water, and unsweetened fruit juice on days when fruit is allowed. This is a typical outline of the diet: * Day 1 - Cabbage soup plus as much fruit as you like, excluding bananas * Day 2 - Cabbage soup plus vegetables including 1 baked potato with a little butter * Day 3 - Cabbage soup plus fruit and vegetables excluding potatoes and bananas * Day 4 - Cabbage soup plus up to eight bananas and as much skimmed milk as you like * Day 5 - Cabbage soup plus up to 20 ounces of beef and up to six tomatoes * Day 6 - Cabbage soup plus as much beef and vegetables (excluding potatoes) as you like * Day 7 - Cabbage soup plus brown rice, vegetables (excluding potatoes) and unsweetened fruit juice

Thanks....gonna try it this weekend!

Wow...nothing like a big bowl of cabbage soup 7 days in a row. Make sure you carry an extra pair of boxer shorts with you at all times Mike.

Here's my dad's recipe...he's originally from Serbia,we grew up eating lots of lamb,cabbage,pork,etc. In a large pot put a leg of lamb+boil with about a quart of water.After 1/2 hour ad a cut up head of cabbage,3-4 carrots[optional],and 3-4 large potatoes cut up.Add 1/3-1/2 jar of your fave spaghetti sauce,cover+boil for 3/4 hour.It's absolutely delicious.You could probably substitute beef if you don't like lamb,but to me the lamb is the best...it's really like a hearty stew.
